Description

Amino acid-containing composition
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an amino acid-containing composition for anti-fatigue use and/or lipid metabolism enhancement.
Background
Fatigue accompanying exercise is a phenomenon that anyone has experienced, and an increase in fatigue causes a decrease in motivation for exercise and/or a decrease in exercise efficiency. In particular, obese persons and/or patients with metabolic syndrome (including the potential population) are also fatigued to a higher degree than healthy persons, and a decrease in motivation for exercise and/or a decrease in exercise efficiency is marked. Therefore, moderate exercise is effective for the prevention and/or improvement of obesity and/or metabolic syndrome.
On the other hand, with the westernization of dietary life and lifestyle in japan, the number of obese people increased, and in the national health and nutrition survey in 2013, 28.6% for men and 20% for women were obtained. In addition, about half of obese people suffer from metabolic syndromes such as hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. In addition, the metabolic syndrome potential population highly suspected of being the metabolic syndrome is up to 51.6% in men and 17.5% in women. That is, for the purpose of extending the health life and controlling medical costs, exercise-based energy expenditure and food ingredient-based body regulation functions have been attracting attention as prevention and improvement of these diseases.
As a conventional food focusing on fatigue associated with exercise, a fatigue recovery peptide obtained by enzymatically decomposing a protein material has been disclosed. Patent document 1 describes a fatigue recovery or tonic agent containing a protein-decomposing peptide, which is obtained by decomposing a protein-containing material with thiol protease derived from germinated soybeans and serine protease derived from microorganisms. Patent document 2 describes an amino acid nutritional composition having a rapid recovery effect of human muscle fatigue, which contains arginine, isoleucine, leucine, valine, lysine, methionine, threonine, histidine, proline, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and glutamine. Patent document 3 describes an amino acid composition for a fatigue preventive agent, which is composed of 6 to 12 kinds of amino acids among proline, alanine, lysine, tryptophan, histidine, threonine, tyrosine, arginine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine. Patent document 4 describes an amino acid composition having an anti-obesity effect based on lipid hypermetabolism while preventing, reducing and recovering fatigue, which is composed of proline, alanine, glycine, valine, threonine, leucine, histidine, serine, lysine, isoleucine, glutamic acid, arginine, methionine, and l-carnitine, and coenzyme Q10 (hereinafter referred to as CoQ 10). In addition, patent document 5 describes a lipid metabolism-promoting agent containing arginine, phenylalanine, and alanine.
The techniques described in these documents have been put to practical use and some of them have achieved certain results, but all of them have problems in the process of using a predetermined protease, problems in the complexity of production management, productivity, economy and the like due to the use of a plurality of amino acids, and also have problems in that the obtained anti-fatigue effect and lipid metabolism-enhancing effect are not necessarily satisfactory as compared with these problems.

Modes for carrying out the invention
The present invention is an amino acid-containing composition for anti-fatigue and/or lipid hypermetabolism, which comprises an amino acid as an active ingredient, wherein the amino acid is (1) arginine, (2) valine, or (3) serine.
The preferred content of the amino acids (1) to (3) in the amino acid-containing composition of the present invention is as follows. The content is represented by the content of the amino acids (1) to (3) relative to the total weight.
(1) The content of arginine in the present invention is preferably 50 to 70% by weight based on the total weight of amino acids arginine, valine and serine. It is preferable that the content of arginine is 50% by weight or more because the anti-fatigue effect and/or the lipid metabolism-promoting effect of the present invention are exhibited. Further, if the content of arginine is 70% by weight or less, the anti-fatigue effect and/or lipid metabolism-promoting effect derived from valine and serine other than arginine are further exerted, and therefore, it is preferable.
(2) The content of valine in the present invention is preferably 25 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of arginine, valine and serine. It is preferable that the content of valine is 25% by weight or more because the anti-fatigue effect and/or the lipid metabolism-promoting effect of the present invention are exhibited. Further, if the content of valine is 50% by weight or less, the anti-fatigue effect and/or lipid metabolism-promoting effect derived from arginine and serine other than valine are further exerted, and therefore, it is preferable.
(3) The content of serine in the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 15% by weight based on the total weight of arginine, valine and serine. It is preferable that the content of serine is 0.1% by weight or more because the anti-fatigue effect and/or the lipid metabolism-promoting effect of the present invention are exhibited. Further, if the content of serine is 15% by weight or less, the anti-fatigue effect and/or lipid metabolism-promoting effect derived from arginine and valine other than serine is further exerted, and therefore, it is preferable.
The preferred content of the amino acids (1) to (3) in the amino acid-containing composition of the present invention is as follows. The content is represented by the content of the amino acids (1) to (3) relative to the total weight.
Preferably, (1) arginine is contained in an amount of 50 to 70 wt%, (2) valine is contained in an amount of 25 to 50 wt%, and (3) serine is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 15 wt%. When the content of each amino acid is within the above range, the anti-fatigue effect and/or the lipid metabolism-accelerating effect are remarkably exhibited. Wherein the total content is 100 wt%.
In the present invention, "fatigue" refers to a state in which a sense of fatigue, a sense of lassitude, a muscle pain, a muscle tension, and/or a decrease in exercise efficiency occurs due to the load of exercise. Thus, "anti-fatigue" means preventing or inhibiting a feeling of fatigue, a feeling of burnout, a muscle pain, a tension of a muscle, or the like, and/or a decrease in exercise efficiency. In the present invention, the anti-fatigue effect can be evaluated by measuring a blood biomarker during exercise. As the blood marker, for example, blood glucose level, corticosterone, cortisol, lactic acid, ammonia, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, etc., TGF-. beta.and the like can be used.
The evaluation based on the measurement of the blood biomarkers can be performed, for example, as follows: the blood concentration of the biomarker in the blood of each of the 2 groups (administration of the amino acid-containing composition) and non-administration groups (no administration or administration of water) was measured and evaluated by applying an exercise load to the group by forced swimming or running machine or by administering adrenaline or the like to bring the group into a simulated exercise state, collecting blood after a certain period of time, and comparing the measured concentrations.
Since the blood glucose level is decreased by the consumption of saccharides due to continuous exercise and the exercise efficiency is also decreased, the decrease in blood glucose level in the administered group (administration of the amino acid-containing composition) is more suppressed than in the non-administered group (no administration or administration of water), and the anti-fatigue effect is more exhibited, and thus the evaluation can be made. On the other hand, corticosterone, cortisol, lactic acid, ammonia, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and TGF- β are increased by exercise and the exercise efficiency is decreased, so that the increase in each concentration of the administered group (composition containing amino acids administered) has an anti-fatigue effect as compared with the non-administered group (no administration or water administration), and thus, it can be evaluated.
In addition, in the present invention, the anti-fatigue effect can be evaluated by measuring spontaneous motility. Evaluation based on the spontaneous exercise amount test can be performed, for example, as follows: the evaluation was carried out by applying an exercise load such as forced swimming or running machine to 2 groups of the administration group (administration of the amino acid-containing composition) and the non-administration group (no administration or water administration) for a certain period of time, measuring the spontaneous exercise amount by the spontaneous exercise amount measuring device after the end of the exercise, and comparing the results. The spontaneous exercise amount can be used as an index of the state in which the exercise efficiency is decreased by the exercise load, and the more spontaneous exercise amount in the administered group is compared with that in the non-administered group, the more the anti-fatigue effect is exhibited, and the evaluation can be made therefrom.
The anti-fatigue effect in the present invention can be evaluated by VAS (Visual Analog Scale). The VAS-based evaluation can be performed, for example, as follows: these results were compared and evaluated by giving exercise load for a certain period of time to 2 groups of the administration group (administration of the amino acid-containing composition) and the non-administration group (no administration or administration of water), and then applying VAS for "fatigue feeling" or the like after completion of exercise. VAS can be evaluated subjectively with respect to fatigue, and the lower the "fatigue feeling" or the like of the administered group as compared with the non-administered group, the more the anti-fatigue effect is exhibited.
In the present invention, "lipid hypermetabolism" refers to a state in which neutral fat is decomposed into fatty acid and glycerin, and combustion of fatty acid is activated. Specifically, the state refers to a state in which substances related to the decomposition of neutral fat, such as epinephrine, adenylate cyclase, cyclic AMP, protein kinase a, and hormone-sensitive lipase, substances related to β -oxidation, such as acyl-CoA synthetase and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, or substances related to the citric acid cycle and the mitochondrial electron transport chain are activated. In the present invention, the lipid metabolism-accelerating effect can be evaluated by measuring a blood biomarker during exercise. Blood biomarkers can be reviewed by measuring, for example, glycerol, free fatty acids (NEFA) in blood, ketone bodies in blood, and the like. The lipid metabolism-enhancing effect can be performed, for example, as follows: the blood concentration of the biomarkers in the blood of the group 2 was measured and evaluated by comparing the measured concentrations by applying an exercise load to the group 2 (the group containing amino acid was administered) and the group 2 (the group was not administered or water was not administered) by forced swimming, treadmill, or the like, or by administering adrenaline or the like to place the group in a simulated exercise state, and collecting the blood after a certain period of time. For example, in the case of blood glycerol concentration, if the values of the area under the curve (AUC) and the maximum blood concentration (Cmax) of glycerol in the administered group are higher than those in the non-administered group, the effect of enhancing fat metabolism is exhibited, and thus the evaluation can be made. Similarly, when NEFA or ketone bodies in blood are present, the blood NEFA or ketone body concentration in blood in the administered group is higher than that in the non-administered group, and the effect of enhancing fat metabolism is exhibited, and thus it can be evaluated.
In one form of the present invention, the amino acid-containing composition of the present invention may further comprise a non-amino acid component having an anti-fatigue and/or lipid metabolism-enhancing effect as an active ingredient. The non-amino acid component as the active ingredient is not particularly limited as long as it has an anti-fatigue and/or lipid metabolism promoting effect, and is a component usually incorporated into pharmaceuticals and/or foods and drinks, for example, vitamins such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid, vitamin-like substances such as CoQ10, carnitine, and α -lipoic acid, minerals such as iron and zinc, saccharides such as glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose, organic acids such as citric acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, malic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, butyric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and gluconic acid, and polyphenols such as caffeine, theobromine, theanine, and catechin.
